is any one experiencing long delay when saving a contact that has been updated.
Update a couple of contacts today (first change since I got my phone) each one took > 45 seconds to save.
I have about 450 contacts on my phone.

Backup and delete all you SMS messages and this problem will disappear.
I faced this delay
johncmolyneux, are you sure by clearing sms box the problem disappears?

I'm using the HTC Diamond. But I thought I'll put this in the General problem as this might not only apply to the TD.
Today I received an sms and I couldn't get into the message to read it, so I decided to turn off my phone, and turn it back on again – I did the soft reset (pressing the power button on the top of the phone and not the instant soft reset button). I have done this before and it worked after that.
However, after I turned on the phone again today, the smses I received and sent since 23/07/2009 have disappeared.
I also checked the most recent call history and it's there – so it's not as if the phone decided to backdate itself.
Has this happened to anyone else? I would like to retrieve those missing smses (at least the ones I received) if I could. Is there a particular directory that the phone stores these smses?
Help would be much appreciated!
this happens to me also

Mine aren't threaded either.
I can understand if it decided to delete today's or even yesterday's messages, since it takes a while for the messages to be saved onto the rom.
But I can't figure out why it deleted messages up to 2 weeks ago.
And did you have any way to retrieve the missing smses?
Hi all,
I have a HTC HD2 and it is running the latests HTC ROM.
Is there a way to delete just old texts automatically. It saves everything by conversation and some of my conversations are approaching 1000 texts long this is causing some lag when opening the conversation to add a new reply. Is there a way to tell the phone to only save the last 100 texts in a conversation and delete the rest. Or by date. It wouldn't have to delete them if it could just not load them into the conversation that would be good.
The only way i have managed to do this is to go through and select delete all messages then unselected the first 100. Any help will be amazing.
Cheers,
Oblique
Hi all,
Just set up an account here as I've had a problem with my XDA Orbit 2. It was knocked out of my hand the other day (not the first time it's been dropped though) and when I picked it up, it appeared to be restarting, so I thought nothing of it (thought perhaps the battery had come loose or something).
After a few minutes, I had a look at it and realised it had reset itself to the factory settings. So I go through that process and after it goes through that whole process, when I got to the today screen, I did a quick scan and found that all my messages and emails were still there (and the settings too), all the files and pictures I had on the phone were present... the only things that appear to have been affected are my contacts list and calendar details (birthdays, appointments etc). These are simply gone!
I went to Settings --> Menu and noticed that some of the menu items I could select were doubled (I have, for example "Calendar" and "Calendar (1)", "Phone" and "Phone (1)" and "Contacts" and "Contacts (1)". Long story short... I managed to open these (contacts in particular), but there's no informtion there at all. I also had a look at the PIM.VOL file (it was about 350kb) and extracted all the subfiles, but the contacts file was empty (0 records). So the question is: are my contacts actually gone? I'm hoping not, seeing as everything else is still on the phone, but I know this isn't a guarantee...
Sorry for the long message, but hopefully someone can give me an idea of what to do. If anything!
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
last week my HTC Sensation started random rebooting. Sometimes it lasts longer alive (up to 15 minutes). Though what is interesting, is that my SMS Icon has (1) on it, while after opening the native SMS app it does not display anything, nor I am able to recieve any more SMS (aaand usually it crashes after I open the SMS app).
I do not ever delete my messages (well ... why should I?)
Could it be, that there is some SMS hack which causes the stock ROM to crash?
the phone is not rooted (except S-OFF, which I did just to see if it goes), no crappy apps installed, running only stock ROM. Since 2 months I am not able to install HTC Twitter client (it reboots and I get a blue Android with an exclamation mark and cannot do anything more) and on my SD Card I have ~160MB Free - could that an issue aswell?
Edit: the phone heats up like crazy
It's because the phone is overheating. I have the Xe and it's a nightmare: usually just take the back off, and take the battery out for ~10 minutes and put everything back in.

tried that, doesn't work
had the battery out for 4 days already, even the time settings had been reset.
Curious though: it started rebooting after first day I went skiing with this phone (wanted to do some Runkeeper stats). Outside temperatures never dropped below -10 celsius - could that cause the issue
Have a look to see what free memory you have on the phone and on the SD card, if the phone memory is getting low (below 40 mb ) or the sim memory is low (below 400 MB) then its time to do some hasrh house keeping
SD card is simple if you can replace it with a bigger (and faster version)
If its phone memory, a factory data reset is the simple way around it then use something like App2sd to keep the phone memory free
Lack of free memory is the number 1 problem for freezing and reboot issues into our call centre for android phones
Ooh if I were you, I'd delete those text messages. I save mine as well using SMS to Gmail Backup and have a limit of 70 SMS messages and 5 MMS messages. The rest of it gets backed up.
I don't know if I'm right or wrong but from experience.. saving ALL of those text messages up can slow it down. I saved up to about 20,000 with one person and it was pretty slow. (This was back then when I had an older phone though) However! Deleting it did help. I wouldn't suggest keeping all your messages... imagine if you had a million and the SMS app had to open up and load a million messages. that would take forever, and in your case, might not even work!
Seeing as how you save all those texts... I also doubt that you've wiped your phone. I suggest 1) delete your messages (or back them up) 2) factory reset if it's not yet working properly!
My co-worker has a brand new Z3 with issues. After literally one day usage phone developed extreme lag when accessing contacts or text messages. All the UI seems to be working fine, no hiccups here, but the content...
And I mean it, i have seen it with my own eyes. You click open dialer or recent log, and it takes minutes for the phone to display contacts. No freezing, simply empty list opens, and then after some time it finally shows the calls. Contacts backup (~250 entries) lasted for about an hour. After factory reset everything was fine for another day, now the same problem appeared. Do you think it's hardware issue some memory problem, or faulty software? We are planning to claim warranty, but i'm affraid they will just reset the phone and say it's good as new (for another day or two)..
